Abstract:Background
Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide. Patients with blood pressure (BP) response to dietary sodium reduction are referred to as “salt sensitive.” Salt sensitivity (SS) might be due to differences in sodium storage capacity and the erythrocyte SS examines this capacity of the red blood cells. This study aimed to test the effect of a self‐performed sodium reduced diet on BP in patients with essential hypertension and examine whether erythrocyte SS pr… Show more
